original post @ Expreview.comNVIDIA 9600GT is suffering delays due to some cards have voltage offset issues, can not make it to the Valentine’s Day. But we try to dig out some more informations of the card.
Right after the card hits the market in February 21 (local time, china), there will be two versions available. The first one is 512MB and a 256MB version will also be released.
The price of 9600GT will be set between $169 USD and $189 USD. More higher than its predecessor, 8600GT’s launch price.
Our source said AA performance of 9600GT will be optimized, by utilizing less graphic memory than GeForce 8 series.
And, in the new ForceWare NV will also enhance video playback quality of 9600GT, by making it more colorful. Because users are complaining the color is too “light” when using GeForce card to output Hi-def video comparing to ATI Radeon’s.

Those that are waiting for the GeForce 9600GT will like this pricing news - well maybe not... It's higher than many expected.
Re: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Priced at $169 and $189
If these prices are indeed true I would rather spend the extra $ and get a 8800GT.

I agree, the price is set a little high. I think it should be $10-20 lower. The price is too close to the 8800GT. We'll have to see the performance to see if the pricing is justified.
Re: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Priced at $169 and $189
Definitely higher than I expected. 
Re: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Priced at $169 and $189
Hmm if it performs within %10 of the 8800GT than I would say it is a good deal. Otherwise this will be an expensive replacement for the 8600GTS line of card which were the WIndows ME of midrange cards.
Re: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Priced at $169 and $189
When comparing the stock specs of the 9600GT and 8800GT they could be quite close in performance but the 8800GT will edge out the 9600GT for sure.

Then heat output and power consumption and fan noise will definitely be key elements on whether i get the 9600 gt or the 8800 gt for sure.werty316 wrote:When comparing the stock specs of the 9600GT and 8800GT they could be quite close in performance but the 8800GT will edge out the 9600GT for sure.
